Gosh. Is This EVER A Stupid Take.

Whopperline-Trumpquility-Base-07-30-2019 It is just so… classically…  Hinderaker. So… I guess we should have come to expect it.

He posits this morning that Trump will win — in 2020, because Obama did, in 2012… with some negative early polling numbers, in 2010.

Huh.

That “thesis” would have to simply… ignore the number of disapproval voters — saying so about Trump. He is way underwater, on that score, as FiveThiryEight regularly shows [see above right].

No president in the history of modern polling has been above 56 percent disapproval for as long as Trump; and above 53 percent disapproval for HIS ENTIRE presidency. Not one.

But yeah — chuckle on, John.

Tweet-Alt3-DJT-18Ooh. Hold the [rotary dial] phone!

Here’s an idea — right outta’ the summer of… 1969:

Let us henceforth call this version of John’s “alternate facts” — Trump — checking in, from “Trump-quility Base.” On the Moon — Which We all Now Know… Is… Part of… Mars. 

Trump was “down there” –at Tranquility Base with Buzz and Neil, making the Moon a “really special part of Mars”, only a short while before he rushed in — with the first responders, on 9/11. You could look it up. Or not.

People! Hire THIS Genius A/V Ex-Staffer! WINNER!

Whopper-Trump-Pwned-Turning-Point-USA-2019 This [presumably young] person, now fired, won the internet for the week.

As Trump walked onstage at the TurningPoints USA youth summit, the seal at right appeared on the big screen behind him. Perhaps hundreds of kids have video and instagram pics of it reposted.

The staffer got fired for it. The scroll reads (in Spanish) “45 is a puppet”.

The eagle’s claw holds… golf clubs, instead of 13 arrows.

And best of all — the eagle (evocative of the… Russian coat of arms) has two heads.

It goes without saying that NO ONE inside GOP or TP USA [an apt acronym, indeed] noticed until long after all the kids had spread the images and footage, far and wide, on the internet. [It is emblematic of how utterly incompetent anything and everything about Trump… is. But I digress.]

This kid… WINS!

Somebody… hire him/her!

Flawlessly deflating… satire. [This is the event where Trump told the kids “Article II means I can do anything I want….”] Disgusting.

John: As Ever, Awful — At Math.

Life-2Racist-IL-Republican-Party-2019 We will make short work of this, as we have post-racing celebration dinners to attend.

Hinderaker thinks it a victory that fewer people were reported dead at the southern border, under Trump, than under either Mr. Obama or Bush 43.

He ignores that Trump (i) has achieved it UNLAWFULLY (even Bush 43, in the main, complied with existing 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(a)(1), et seq. — Trump is like 1-for-19 in the courts, on the lawfulness of his border “war”) — and (ii) he ignores the perhaps 32,000 CHILDREN Trump has separated from their parents / guardians, once inside our borders. Crimes against humanity by Trump lawyers — pretty effectively negate… the math John posits.

It is functionally the same as saying “fewer Jews died in battle, in WW II — on the battlefields, proper — because Hitler moved them to… camps.”

Then John would blithely ignore the 6 million deaths — in those camps.

Not exactly a… winning argument there, Johnnie.

Do try again. BTW, here [above right] is the official Illinois GOP Facebook page, as of Sunday afternoon. Do see at right. It has been taken down tonight. Racists — all of them.

[U: Chanting “Doubles Down”] Trump’s Craven RACISM Is Not An “Unforced Error.”

Whopper-Paul-John-Charlottesville-201707.18.19 Late Night, UPDATE: As was widely reported in the media, Trump now claims he “wasn’t comfortable” with chants — at his rally in the Carolinas — to “Send her back….” The obvious difficulty with this claim is that there is video of the moment — and Trump stood silently while the chanting ran 13 seconds — he did not stop it — he let the crowd roar. He then, without comment of any sort on the chanting, returned to attacking Rep. Omar.

It is a feature of his campaign, not a bug. And John admits as much, below. [End, updated portion.]

John Hinderaker seems to think being president is as simple… as a game of baseball.

For John, hurling glaringly obvious — and factually ludicrous — ON THE RECORD, tweeted, racial and ethnic insults, at sitting US Congresswomen of color, no less… is simply “letting a grounder roll harmlessly between your legs.” Oops. Just an “oops.”

Of course John’s “error” analogy fails to explain why Trump did not call out the lone white male, the one NOT actually born in the US, now sitting in Congress [a Democrat, as well — one he should wish to deride] — and admonish him to return to his “original country.”  Errors rarely distinguish on the basis of gender and color. Not in the same breath, at least.

But remarks born of racial and ethic animus… almost universally do.

whopperline-trump-timmons-curved-2016 Trump is a wanna-be KKK sheet-wearing racist. We knew that already.

But John may be… the worst apologist, for him, ever.

John’s “error” rhetoric is an ironic and deeply sinister admission, for it implies that [in John’s — and 45’s mind] straight up racism is a laudable means… for making selections, adding to remarks, and deciding policy — but it is only “wrong” insofar as one utters it aloud — i.e., only if “caught“.

John’s mantra is “sing and say the loud part… softly.”

That makes Hinderaker every bit the Nathan Bedford Forrest-worshipping racist Trump is — but John feels it’s all quite acceptable, if you only say so… in more coded, polite language.

Whopperline-Malkin-Runs-Hinderakers-Small-Brain-2019 On balance, John’s kind of racist, is the more sinister kind of man, to confront — for at least with Herr Gröpen-führer von Feltersnatch, we know what he is — going in. He pays us the “compliment“, if you will of… being blunt.

John and so many like him… simply PRETEND racial and ethnic animus doesn’t drive them — when it clearly does. They only think it is wrong — if they get caught doing it.

Yes — John is worse than Trump. He is smarter than Trump to be sure [who isn’t?]… and so his “defense” admits the core truth:

Racism infects… John. “Bone and marrow, hip and thigh. Blood and ligament….”

I rest my case.

 

[U; John Goes In, TWICE.] Six DAYS Later… John Offers These, On Acosta. Repulsive.

Whopper-Hinderaker-On-Epstein-2019 So. John was once… a lawyer.

I’m told he has let his license to practice law… lapse. That is, he retired from law.

John was also once… just a… human being.

UPDATED | 07.10.2019 @ 8 PM EDT: It is clear to me now. John has lost it. He’s put up a second post on Epstein in 24 hours, and in this one, his headline says it all: “Epstein is Clinton’s Problem, Not Trump’s“.

John apparently believes raping children is just… a mindless game of political football. John couldn’t give a shit about the victims; he’s said not a word — about the victims’ right to see justice.

Whopper-Trump-Hinderaker-Script-2016 And disgustingly, in the land of pure political football, John says that Epstein’s crime-spree should be left on the doorstep of a 1990s ex-president [for no apparent factual reason, as opposed to the known documented facts, which John mis-states] — rather than the man who hosted numerous “underage pageants” with Epstein, in the same time frame, in South Florida. Working directly with him, to promote these events, in fact. And, that guy… is the current chief federal law enforcement officer.

Not to mention that this same man is keeping as his Secretary of Labor, the man who handled and blessed the Epstein cover-up — one that violated almost every victims’ rights law on the books. And… this is the same man… who likely did much the same in his personal life, perhaps even relatively very recently. But fuck football.

These were children, John. You are a lying sack of shit. And an ass. A soul-less ass for this. You will… burn in eternity, for this.

End, update. This was this morning:

whopperlie-hinderaker-2017I cannot get over this excrement he wrote, today — related to Acosta / Epstein:

“…Now, probably in order to embarrass the Trump administration, the U.S. Attorney’s office in New York has brought new criminal charges against Epstein arising out of the same pattern of conduct….”

This is disgusting. Seeking justice — for the underage victims of violent crimes,  ones NOT ever charged in Florida… over a decade ago — is manifestly what the federal criminal law requires. These crimes originated in / occurred in Manhattan — not Florida.

And it is revolting that John insults the victims of rape by dismissing a serial sexual predator as… “same pattern conduct” [as though it was merely cheating on a college entrance exam, or some such]. Each. VICTIM. Deserves, To. Be. Heard. To seek individualized justice, under the law, against both Acosta and Epstein and any other on any of those CDs, John. [This was not any sort of victim-less crime.]

Whopperline-Hinderaker-2019-Brain-Small Finally, instead of admitting that the children victimized deserve justice — John claims it is nothing more than an attempted smear… of Trump. That is a satisfyingly [albeit inadvertent] ironic  admission: Epstein and Trump — two of a kind.

As one other Tweep memorably put it: “How many NORMAL people are personal friends with four or five serial sexual predators — pedophiles?”

It is no coincidence that so many in Trump’s circle are sexual miscreants. He is one, himself — and that is where this is all heading.

But Hinderaker’s high handed dismissal of child victims of violent felonies… is gut wrenching, here. And let’s be clear: since Epstein is already a convicted sex offender, the trove of disgusting material in his Manhattan mansion’s safe is in fact… “NEW EVIDENCE.” Don’t believe John. He is a soul-less liar, here.

In the end, John did call for Trump to fire Acosta — but by then, he knew it would fall on deaf ears — people inside the White House were quoted as saying late this morning that there is “a zero per cent chance” that Trump will fire him. So… in the end, Acosta may resign… but John will never remove the above stains, from his eternal soul.

Onward.

It Is Clear The Wheels Are Coming Off, For John And Co….

whopper-3trump-not-serious-2017 This evening, as the world learns with horror and shock that registered recidivist sexual predator multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein was given a sweetheart deal down in Florida eleven years ago, by a Bush/Cheney guy… who is NOW TRUMP’S Secretary of Labor — and that the guy violated the law to give out that deal… and that Donald Trump himself has repeatedly praised Epstein, and Trump himself had noted [with a glowing comparative self-reference invoking Epstein — that they were alike] highlighting Trump’s own proclivity for pretty younger women… and  he was until fairly recently a welcome member of Mar-A-Lago, until caught harrassing young girls there — and it turns out Epstein still had, as he was arrested, collections of child porn, in a safe in Manhattan, as a registered sex offender [a big “no no“, under his earlier deal] — and possessed a cache of DVDs / CDs — with people’s names on them [Cough… Trump? Clinton? Dershowitz?] PLUS the names of underage girls… which the AUSAs are still reviewing…. as Epstein sits in MCC; next bond hearing on Thursday… [WTF? There can be no bond high enough: he has three private jets… and millions, and houses all over the globe. No bracelet will hold him down, in Manhattan or Florida…]

…It is on this evening, that John Hinderaker decides to say the Steele Dossier is the raging priority of public corruption accountability we all need to focus upon… EXCLUSIVELY. Not a peep, anywhere on PowerLie, on any of these above events of the day. Not. A. Peep.

John breathlessly says some in DoJ are cooperating with that Barr inquiry, which may be at worst mildly embarrassing for some Democrats.

But right now, Trump has a Secretary of Labor — in Acosta, who clearly ought to be disbarred. And probably… jailed. He has a Secretary of Commerce who told racist lies to Congress, and swore the same lies, before the federal courts [on the citizenship question for the 2020 Census, now defeated].

aa30a-barr-mugsHe has an AG [in Barr] openly threatening to defy a US Supreme Court order, to bless Trump using an executive order to add the unlawful census question to the forms being printed… “because he [Barr] sez so.” Again, there disbarment… lies.

And over it all — dozens of very young girls were victimized — and then victimized again, by the cover-up / hiding of this whole affair. Does / did Epstein have blackmail CDs on both Trump and Acosta [and Dersh]?

We may soon know. And if he has one on Bill Clinton — without exception… all of them shall and should… go to jail. That’s how we Democrats differ from the presently fashioned Republicans of the day. Accountability.

Whopperline-Hinderaker-2019-Brain-Small Sure, if John can explain why the investigation predated the Steele dossier, by several months, I will listen. But the uncontroverted evidence makes it clear there were multiple FISA warrants BEFORE the dossier was known to exist.

That sort of holes John’s little sailboat… below the water line.

A “Nike… SHOW”?!

whopperlie-hinderaker-2017Okay. Hinderaker used to at least read his crap over — before posting it.

But with Trump sounding increasingly like a person suffering from accelerating dementia (Trump tonight lauded the US Revolutionary Army — taking the  “ramparts” in 1777, but on the second utterance of the idiom, he read it as “army secured… the airports” — in 1777?!)…

John too is just phoning it in. For most of the day, his opinion (and Ramirez cartoon) on the Nike “Betsy Ross SHOE” controversy reads as:

“…Nike’s disgraceful withdrawing of a show that featured the “Betsy Ross flag” on the ground that, per Colin Kaepernick, it is somehow emblematic of slavery….”

Apparently, so it goes. Not even John cares about his writer’s craft anymore.

Hilarious. I know I don’t care about his; that much is certain.

Yep — “I’ll Take ‘False Equivalencies 101’ — For $500, Alex…”

Whopperline-Malkin-Runs-Hinderakers-Small-Brain-2019 Look. Violence is never the answer. More thought — logic — and speech is. So I offer this:

Tonight, John and Michelle Malkin [with whom I also have history] suggest that the DNC authorizes antifa attacks in Portland. Not so.

So — come, let us reason together….

I renounce them. Now, John and Ms. Malkin — do you similarly renounce HALF of the approximately 19,000 border agents, now serving?

It turned out today that about 9,000 current and former border agents belong to a private racist, sexist Facebook group. They trade images of Trump raping… AOC. And that’s the tamer stuff.

Since — by John’s and Michelle’s highly dubious “logic” — the RNC specifically endorses this activity, I call for these two chuckleheads… to renounce them.

Crickets… false equivalencies, remedial edition — there you have it.

And now… onward. Namaste.

Tonight, John Hinderaker Channels Orwell, And Rather… Badly.

Life-32000-Missing-Kids-San-Diego-2019 John — as we have long documented — says many foolish things. He also… bold face… lies. Regularly.

Tonight he offers a “double whammy” [precious!] — as he does so in the form of some very (i) foolish statements that are also… (ii) lies. On immigration — and who — exactly is… the Americas’ most lawless actor. Let’s get to the nonsense, then — John writes:

“…Or at a minimum, we should enforce our own [immigration laws]. Currently, the U.S. is suffering from a double whammy: we have inadequate immigration laws, but the laws we have are not being enforced, due to massive lawlessness by American liberals….”

Ahem. Every bit of this is… delusional.

To be sure, there has been “massive lawlessness“. But it has all been at the hand of Donald Trump. Each of the above federal judges have signed published opinions holding that Trump has repeatedly violated existing immigration law. I have documented this at another of my sites.

Hint: The lawless actor… is Donald Trump. Now he is in danger of being held in contempt of court — over six dead children — and thousands left filthy, sleepless and malnourished.

Whopperline-Hinderaker-2019-Brain-Small And so, the late Orwell himself, would likely laugh — at just how ham-handed John’s “Lies are Truth” attempts [at imitating Orwell’s work, 1984]… in fact, are.

But in a few weeks, we may learn that Hitler himself would have nodded approvingly and smiled, at John’s lies to defend… lawless concentration camps.

Sad old man — that bitterly shriveled Hinderaker.

Sir William Of Occam… Is Here, Relevant.

Whopper-Asset-Trump-Russia-2019 This morning, Mr. Hinderaker professes profound befuddlement — at why Donald Trump might have tweeted so… off-the-chain angrily, that US intelligence sources have recently gone on the record to say that the US has planted malware in the Russian power grid — likely so much “in the open”… that Russia is well-aware of it.

But for this story to make sense, we must note that Trump did not just overreact about the New York Times story on it — he accused an unnamed, and amorphous cast of characters of… “treason.” [It is plain that the US intel folks want Russia to know about this. How can this be “treason” — even assuming Trump did not know about it — and he is not lying, by shedding crocodile tears, here. Big assumption, I know. But the treason would be against… Russia, not the US. It goes without saying that US intel owes no duty of loyalty to… Russia. No… only the US — and with that in mind, Trump’s doesn’t sound… too too crazy.]

That is so, because we must also note that Trump is not smart enough to run a disinformation campaign convincingly.

So, I take it John’s befuddlement is… genuine. I do believe him when he says “he doesn’t get it.”

If John were to accept that — in science, all things being equal — the simplest explanation tends to be the correct one [a la Sir William of Occam]… we should assume… that Trump is mad because he. is. a. Russian. asset.

He’s furious because Vlad Putin has likely back-channeled him, to say he — Vlad — is furious that Trump is reneging on some part of the deal Putin is secretly holding him to — in return for not burying Trump alive, in wave after wave of on video-tape scandals.

Life-25-Amend-Trump-09-05-18 That’s it, John — as I’ve said for three years… Trump is bought and paid for — by Russia. And now he senses the Russians are going to call their markers. And ruin him — right at 2020 election time.

C’mon, John — think like a lawyer.
